Actually, I’m under the assumption that this snippet could also be used to make sure an capable iPad sees the full and normal version of your site … As the poster mentions, the iPad has full size screen and capable browser … yet I’ve experienced while using Safari on the iPad, many sites currently detect the mobile version of Safari and dump me into the mobile versions of their site, then I continually have to hunt for a way to get to the standard version on many pages, this is annoying (Twitter for instance hides the link to the standard version of their pages, all the way at the bottom of their footer)

Is it possible to use the .htaccess rewriterule to only redirect one page within a site? For example, if one page has a flash object, can I redirect requests for that one page to a static version just for iPads?

I’m up to my elbows in a behemoth 600 page raw code HTML/JS site that wants to be optimized it for ipad. It was optimized by the last guy for iphone and I can see it in the js…the two chunks of code for browsers and iphone are the same. What do I add to the file to optimize for ipad? Or where can I look? Everything I’m finding is for apps… -am
